Abstract: A diagnostic kit for measuring a characteristic of a fluid sample includes a test strip
(e.g., a disposable blood glucose test strip) and device (e.g., a hand-held meter) for
measuring a property (e.g., an optical or electrochemical property) of the test strip. The
device also calculates, based on the measured property of the test strip, a characteristic
(e.g., blood glucose concentration or INR) of a fluid sample applied to the test strip.
Stored in a memory of the device are test strip calibration codes that represent geometric
regions (e.g., polygonal or hexagonal geometric regions) of a multi-dimensional calibration
parameter space. The test strip calibration codes and geometric regions are distributed
across the multi-dimensional calibration parameter space such that a quantization error of
assigning one of test strip calibration codes to the test strip is optimally reduced. Also, a
method for optimally associating test strip calibration codes to calibration parameters for
use in such a diagnostic kit that includes first optimally distributing a plurality of test strip
calibration codes and geometric regions represented thereby across a multi-dimensional
calibration parameter space. The distribution is conducted such that a quantization error of
assigning one of the test strip calibration codes to the test strip of the diagnostic kit is
optimally reduced. The method also includes storing the distributed test strip calibration
codes in a memory of the diagnostic kit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for
determining the propagation delay of a signal. In the
method a burst signal transmitted from one or more
access points is received, said signal comprising at least
one part containing fixed information. Samples are taken
from the received signal to produce a sampled signal
(s(n)). The received signal comprises signal components
propagated via one or several paths. In the method the
sampled signal (s(n)) and the signal corresponding to
said fixed information (t(n)) are correlated with each
other, wherein the correlation results produced in the
correlation are processed by subtracting at least one
signal component from the correlation results. Said
signal corresponding to said fixed information (t(n)) is
used in the subtraction. As a result of the processing,
values corresponding to the maximum correlation are
searched for, wherein a temporally first value is
determined from the found values corresponding to the
maximum correlation, said first value being used for
determining the timing of the signal.

Optionally, an endothermic reaction occurs in the heat exchange channel (61) which is sustained by the exothermic chemical process occurring the exothermic reaction chamber. Both the reaction chamber (52) and the heat exchange channel (61) can be of micro dimension. Catalyst (75) can be provided in the microchamber (52) in sheet form such that reactants flow by the catalyst sheet.
